The whole process of design, preparation and construction is conceived to meet learners' special educational needs.

The countries surveyed all have, or are currently preparing, laws that ensure full access to education for all students, although with varying degrees of

O conceito de Necessidades Educativas Especiais (NEE) foi utilizado pela primeira vez pelo «Special Educational Needs: Report of the Committee of Enquiry into the Education of Handicapped Children and Young People» (London: Her Majesty's Stationery Office, 1978), presidido por Mrs. Hellen Mary Warnock, conhecido como Relatório Warnock para reavaliar o atendimento aos alunos com deficiência. As concepções desenvolvidas pelo Relatório Warnock vieram alterar decisivamente a organização da educação especial, nomeadamente das respostas educativas para os alunos com NEE, o que significou uma mudança de primazia do paradigma médico-psicológico para a do paradigma educativo.
